The Best Form Of Magnesium 2020 September

[ecstatichamster]

I take about 2 grams of Mg Carbonate a day, in divided doses in OJ, and it's working out well (ha!)

This is equivalent to about 450mg of elemental Mg I think.

I also use the cooked mushrooms, and about 1/4 teaspoon of aged cascara sagrada bark powder, and recently added 4g a day of triphala powder...

...and I eat fruit.

All told, this keeps things moving but not as much as one might think. I am having two bowel movements a day and the form shows that my gut motility could be a bit better.

But it's headed in the right direction.

 

[yeggim]

you don't explode with that amount of mag?

Half a teaspoon is 1.5 grams with 385 mg being magnesium. That's 770 mg of magnesium. I usually take right before bed.

 

[yeggim]

What brand of Mg carbonate are you using?

It's a powder from bulk supplements.

Thanks, have you tried their Ca carbonate by any chance too? If you did, any feedback?

I have a 250 gram bag sitting around here somewhere. Haven't used any yet. I bought it to make acid phosphate for soda. I use eggshells if I need more calcium.

There is also magnesium pidolate.

Big (and conclusive) if true.

How much magnesium malate do you guys take ?

 

[Motif]

Can’t say for sure, but I think magnesium malate gives me my usual histamine symptoms.

Carbonate in OJ

No intestinal effects. Tastes good. High absorption.

Do you still prefer Mg Carb in OJ as your source of Mg? How much Mg do you add to OJ for total intake per day? Thanks!

please disregard- just saw your other post on your daily dosing info. If you are still taking this, I'd be interested to know.

@Kray I am occasionally using this. But I find I seldom need to supplement magnesium.

Magnesium bicarbonate water is the best one I have used. Dan Wich has a fantastic guide on how to make it.

Magnesium bicarbonate supplementation - Toxinless.

If you are getting over 500mg from diet, why are you looking to supplement? I personally wouldn't, or only supplement very little if I was going to.

So, I have magnesium bicarbonate powder but because I am lazy, I just mix a little bit into half a glass of orange juice along with some potassium bicarbonate and sodium bicarbonate. Am I still getting benefits?

 

[LadyRae]

Any recent thoughts on magnoil?

I put 5 to 10 drops on my inner wrist and forearms and rub them together before bed. I love this stuff. Sleep has been great

Thank you. How did you know you didn't need to supplement, and when you do supplement, what is the reason?

That is a good reminder how simple application can be! Do you ever find the Magnoil to burn?
